Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

The entire meadow was a hundred square kilometers in area, and the giant river branched off in more than ten routes, all going in various directions.

The meadow had absolutely gorgeous and beautiful giant trees, plants, flowers, and various other things.

Moreover, it was entirely colorful, as trees, plants, flowers, and even rocks were of various colors like dreamy orange, green, fiery red, blue, icy blue, and multiple hues of those colors.

Harmless animals like tiny rabbits, deer, colorful sparrows, butterflies, and such roamed the entire place and played with people.

One might wonder why this place was named Warring Meadow despite its peaceful vibe and no fighting happening anywhere.

Well, fighting and battles were occurring everywhere, but they were taking place in mini-dimensions attached to various trees, flowers, and plants.

As the group neared the Warring Meadow, a burst of sparks appeared and materialized into a Genie.

"Welcome to the Warring Meadow, new friends," the Genie said with a big smile.

"A Genie…" Arkhen raised his eyebrows. Zoe, Evelyn, Isabella, Luna, and Sierra were also surprised. They had seen Genie coming out of the lamp in fantasy movies and cartoons on planet Earth but never thought they had seen one in real.

Except that this Genie didn't come out of a lamp but materialized from a burst of spark.

"Haha, I am indeed from the race of Genies. My name is Azul," Azul said with a smile as he continued, "There are some rules you have to follow once you enter Warring Meadow.

"Rule one: You can not fight or destroy any flower in the meadow. If you want to fight, you may enter the fifteen mini-dimension available in the meadow.

"Rule Two: Never forget rule one, hahaha," Azul said with a laugh. "Now, you may enter."

"What happens if someone breaks the rules?" Meya asked curiously.

"Not much," Azul looked in the sky before continuing, "I have the support of the realm, so those who break the rule…. Ahem, I can forcefully send them to one of the danger zones of this 2nd realm, where even 5th Ring powerhouses die easily."

Everyone was speechless.

"Hahahaha," Azul laughed and shook his head, "Well, I love this meadow, so don't break the rule, and we're good."

…

After Arkhen and others entered the meadow, they saw many people resting, talking, and having fun.

There were also couples and families of various races.

Most importantly, this meadow was lively with normal people of various races who had no powers.

They put up stalls made of wood and other things to sell food, clothes, and other things.

"If fighting is not allowed here, then isn't this place good for people with no powers?" Arkhen said in surprise. "They should come here."

"Hmm, true. But reaching here would also be a tough ordeal for them," Gerald said with a sigh.

Suddenly, a familiar portal opened in front of Arkhen.

*Poof!*

Azul also appeared as he sensed a portal appearing without his permission.

But upon seeing James, Azul smiled and said, "Haha, Peace-loving guy, Nice to meet you again."

"Azul? How's it going?" James asked with a smile.

"Thanks to you, I am enjoying my life now," Azul said with a grin.

"Good to know," James nodded with a smile before turning to Arkhen. "I need your help a bit."

"Need my help?" Arkhen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Ho ho ho!"

Arkhen heard a joyous laugh and saw someone that caused his eyes to turn wide.

"Santa clause?!" Zoe exclaimed.

"No way, right?" Evelyn rubbed her eyes while Isabella, Sierra, and Luna were also startled.

"Hahaha, Indeed," James said with a laugh.

"Hello, ho ho ho," Santa waved his hand towards them with a laugh as he came out of the portal with his present box.

"A real Santa?" Arkhen asked. He felt that Santa would also be real since other mythical beings were also real.

"I am real, young man," Santa said with a grin. "But I can't give you presents, haha. My gift bag can only give presents to people of Gravel Realm."

"Gravel Realm? I don't remember getting a gift from you though," Arkhen said in confusion. He got gifts from his mother when she was alive but not after she passed away.

"I got gifts, but I found out that it was mom who put the gifts," Zoe said with a wry smile.

"Sigh, I was not active for the last six hundred years, and my toy factory was also destroyed. But today is Christmas, and I must bring gifts to the kids now that I am back in shape," Santa said as he caressed his thick white beard.

"But he can't go to the Gravel Realm," James said with a rueful smile. "I also can't open my portal to the Gravel Realm since it's detached from the world of Nine Realms."

"Oh… But how can I help?" Arkhen asked with doubt.

"Well, you should be able to open the portal with your power," James said with a faint smile. "Try it."

'Velshi, can I open a portal to the Gravel realm?'

[You can. However, it will cost 100,000 reality motes.]

"Young man, I plan to stay in Gravel Realm from now on, ho ho ho. So you can send me there and close the portal," Santa said with a smile.

"Brother Arkhen, please open it if you can."

Evelyn and Zoe said with puppy eyes.

"Alright, I can open it," Arkhen said with a smile. "But I have a condition. You have to go to the portal with your full ride."

After saying that, Arkhen waved his hand and created a big portal in the sky by consuming 100,000 reality motes.

Santa saw the portal in the sky and understood as he laughed loudly, "Ho ho ho! As you wish, young man."

*poof!*

Santa flew up in the sky before a burst of sparkling smoke appeared.

Once the smoke dispersed, everyone saw Santa sitting on his big carriage, pulled by six beautiful Reindeers.

The carriage was decorated with flowers, bells, and tiny stars as they floated around and on it.

Everyone in the meadow was surprised and looked into the sky at this phenomenon before hearing a loud laugh.

As the carriage flew towards the portal, Santa put his hand in his gift bag and pulled out a bunch of tiny sparks before throwing them in the sky.

Those tiny sparks turned into thousands of gift boxes as they rained everywhere in the meadow!

"Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho!"
